Ok, so I've got a cyano problem.....how can I get rid of it? It's been in my tank for about a month now and my levels are:
PH: 8.3
NO2: 0
NO3: 0
Ammonia: 0
Phosphates: not tested
All that in a 155g tank with 8 large Nassarious snails, 1 bali starfish, 2 skunk shrimp, 1 atlantic sea hermit crab and 6 or so blue & red legged hermit crabs.
I know I need to get a phosphate test kit, but it's been hard lately with the kids. At any rate, it's been like this for about a month and I've done PWC's every 2 weeks (of about 50-60g worth) and it still seems to be coming back. I've tried the Chemi-Clean that Foster & Smith recommend, but it's been a week on that and still nothing. It's continuing to grow back every time.
Any suggestions/ideas?
TIA,
RDF
